Article Photos: Alaska trumpeter swans filling historic range



  In this photo taken Monday Sept. 29, 2012, a pair of swans and four cygnets head to a channel and a back pond in the waters of Potter March in Anchorage, Alaska. Trumpeter swans continued a remarkable comeback from near extinction in the Lower 48 states and much of their Alaska habitat, said federal wildlife biologist Deborah Groves, who has counted Alaska swans since 1990.
